This repository is a duck component. Visit Wealthy Laughing Duck Project for more information.
This duck component is a RESTful API consumed by other duck components, suck as the duck interface, which provides a RIA (browser application) based on this API.
For more technical details, see the documentation.
Each duck component relies on the duck-commons repository So does the duck API - it needs the MySQL database for django. If you haven't done it before, simply fetch duck-commons repository and execute SQL scripts from that repo. Duck API is already configured to connect the database with appropriate credentials.
